When Seviala saw the two gigantic wooden puppets waiting for her outside the magical armor, she knew that moving her was no joke at all.
Rorschach had already prepared for both eventualities. If the magical armor's charge still wasn't enough for her to move, he would directly move her along with the magical armor.
Rorschach was busy in the open cockpit, ignoring the little princess who was filled with thoughts.
The magical armor's charge had gone much smoother than expected. It had now reached the minimum 10% capacity for movement. Of course, this was only the magical armor's standard charge. The magical armor's mana pool recovery was basically negligible. He would have to think of something after returning.
Considering that it might not be safe even if they reached the Sea Tribe's village, Rorschach decided to continue moving so that the "power bank" could sleep in the magical armor for a while longer.
"… I won't go in there even if I die. It's so stuffy and hot. It's so cramped. It's a double attack on my mind and body."
Rorschach narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had accidentally said something like that again. But what was with this psychological attack?
"Stop trying to put on a show for yourself. I'm not interested in your meager amount of mana … As expected, you've evolved."
The girl lying in front of him was breathing steadily. Even though her combat uniform was specially designed for her, and she wouldn't need to worry about her clothes exploding even if she transformed, her mature figure was still giving Rorschach benefits. Not only that, her slightly white hair was quite eye-catching.
"Pervert, don't you know that some things shouldn't be looked at? You're still staring at me, and even said that you have a girlfriend. You clearly seem like an otaku who's never seen a woman before. "
"What's wrong with being an otaku? Why do I always get attacked for no reason? I'm just wondering what it means when her clothes explode. "
"What does it mean? Does it mean that she wants to give you benefits? Does it mean that the quality of her clothes will become worse? "
* Thud! *
Tears welled up in Rorschach's eyes as he smacked her. He smiled in satisfaction.
For some reason, he liked to see this little girl in front of him having bad luck … Yep, this definitely wasn't revenge for the first time when he had been scammed.
"This means that her transformation ability has evolved. At the very least, the change in her height and leg length will be reflected in her physical combat strength."
"I didn't know that she could transform …"
Boom!
The world became quiet. The little princess squatted down and covered her head with tears in her eyes. She had mastered the skills "Shut up in front of power" and "Don't give perverts a chance to find excuses."
"I'm just worried that she hasn't undone her transformation yet. Does that mean that her transformation won't have a time limit in the future? She'll be able to transform permanently … How are we supposed to be friends then!?"
In a way, it could be said that Ariel and Roxia's relationship became better and better after they fought against each other. This was mostly due to Ariel's alliance with Roxia.
At the very least, the two of them often sat together and drank tea when they were in Aishi. It felt great not having to raise their heads to look at each other.
Rorschach checked and found that Ariel's current Mana fluctuations were at least Tier 5. That's right, not Tier 5, but Tier 5.
There was a dividing line between Tier 4 and Tier 5 mages. After crossing this line, one would be addressed as a Great Mage in any world. This not only represented one's status, but also one's combat power.
To put it bluntly, Tier 4 mages would still be chased by adult dragons. At Tier 5, most Tier 5 mages would be able to easily beat up an adult dragon.
Rorschach wasn't sure if Ariel's Mana had reached Tier 6, but Rorschach felt that it wasn't yet. However, she was definitely at the mid-late stage of Tier 5.
This overflowing Mana might be due to the fact that the total amount of Mana in her Job class exceeded the average, or that her Job class advancement alone wasn't enough to satisfy her gains this time. It might also be due to the natural advantage brought about by the Dragon Bloodline. In any case, Ariel's Mana had finally reached its peak.
As for whether her Soul Imprint had awakened … Rorschach felt that she should have awakened it. Perhaps she had already awakened it long ago. However, the Soul Imprint had always been a person's most confidential information. He wouldn't ask about it unless it was absolutely necessary.
At least for now, Ariel's Job class advancement was a great thing. After all, they were now trapped on this island. Nobody knew what would happen next.
For example, a Dark Knight would suddenly jump out from the forest behind them …
"I've finally found him!"
However, the Dark Knight hesitated for a moment when he saw the tall wooden magic puppet and the magical armor being carried by the puppet. There was also a youth who was walking at the very front of the Dark Knight who had lost an arm but was still filled with mana. In the end, the Dark Knight disappeared into the forest.
Being in a hurry to complete his mission didn't mean that he wanted to die. Even if an injured Tier 4 Dark Knight ambushed him, he might not be able to kill a Tier 5 Dark Knight who was on guard. Besides, 90% of the Dark Knight's combat strength relied on dragons. He didn't want to go up there and die.
"Let's wait for Hubert to recover a little. Let's wait for Twilight to descend …"
The Dark Knight's heavy wooden magic puppet and magical armor left obvious tracks behind. He didn't need to worry about losing track of the Dark Knight, so he turned around and headed back.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, the exhausted Seafolk were also starting to return home or go ashore.
Forbidden spells were created with the goal of dealing large amounts of damage. They would have a large area of effect and be incredibly powerful. They might not be specialized in single-target spells against powerful individuals, but when it came to killing small fries and destroying the environment … well, that was what forbidden spells were for.
The Seafolk army was the one that suffered the heaviest losses from the forbidden spells.
The two pirate ships and the Seafolk on their ships, as well as the pirate leaders who dreamed of becoming nobles, had probably sunk to the bottom of the ocean after directly facing the forbidden spell.
The Dark Knight sacrificed his own dragon in order to dodge the forbidden spell. However, he was still seriously injured. Now, he didn't even have the courage to fight directly against the seemingly harmless Seafolk.
That giant octopus sea monster had at least managed to survive by cutting off one of its limbs in time.
Only the pitiful Seafolk army had to face the forbidden spell's shockwaves head-on. Even though they were also water type creatures, and most of them were underwater where they could avoid the shockwaves, the cruel forbidden spell still managed to kill them.
This was an indiscriminate and merciless attack. All power, status, and wealth became meaningless. Only the truly powerful would be able to survive.
When the Dark Knight had gone, there had been several thousand people from several dozen tribes. Now, even if you counted those who had only gone missing and hadn't died on the spot, the number of survivors still wouldn't exceed three digits.
Such a tragic situation had turned the Seafolk's operation into a joke. After losing their valiant young and strong warriors, the participating tribes probably wouldn't be able to recover for at least a hundred years. They would be lucky if they weren't swallowed up by the tribes that didn't participate in the operation.
At this moment, Gresham, the leader of the Sea Serpent Tribe, who had landed on the western beach of Fish Island, thought about how he had gone with more than three hundred young warriors, but only a dozen of them had returned. His tears and blood dripped down together.
His tribe was considered lucky. They weren't in a hurry to chase after the Seafolk and still maintained their formation. In other words, they were hanging behind the 'marathon team'.
When the forbidden spell descended, they had already left the team. They also had a reaction time that far exceeded that of the other tribes and could chase after the Seafolk in the deep waters.
As a result, despite their miserable state, they had already become the strongest among the tribes that participated in the operation. They had become the 'overlords' of this sea region in one leap.
This pond … this sea region, it would really be his responsibility in the future.
However, this new overlord wasn't in the mood to celebrate.
He had come to Fish Island to see the next generation of his tribe, to give himself and his fellow tribe members some comfort.
At the same time, he also had to transfer some youths and guards back to the tribe to avoid being swallowed up by other tribes. However, he still had some selfish motives.
He wanted to see his daughter at this moment.
